4/24 North of the Border

[jacksonianmarch]

I missed the big play.. but why send Nunez with one out and Mookie coming up. That lost the game, or did Nunez go on his own??

 

2 outs in the 9th. You send him every time

[moonslav59]

That's all folks ...terrible managing terrible coaching and aweful hitting.

 

For two innings you called for Kimbrel.

 

Cora finally did what you wanted, and now it's "terrible coaching".

[Station 13]

2 outs in the 9th. You send him every time

 

Not with Betts about to hit.

[jacksonianmarch]

This team has to stop this losing streak.

 

I disagree

[moonslav59]

2 outs in the 9th. You send him every time

 

Of course. It was the right call, but since he was out, Cora sucks.

[Natick to NC]

These birds from north of the border are good. Good day to be a Yankee fan! Down to 4 games

Lol keep dreaming we get X back Friday ...think about playing holt at SS ....we get our leading hitter back who hit one out tonight .

[jacksonianmarch]

Not with Betts about to hit.

 

Granderson in LF and Nunez running, you try to score there. Granderson made a perfect throw

[Station 13]

For two innings you called for Kimbrel.

Maybe it was the out at home. Maybe it was the defensive lapses.

[Maxbialystock]

So much for the Kimbrel is invincible theory.

 

Sending Nunez home in the 9th was costly.

[jacksonianmarch]

Lol keep dreaming we get X back Friday ...think about playing holt at SS ....we get our leading hitter back who hit one out tonight .

 

keep dreaming? Your team peaked in April and now are hitting a rough patch. You're not running away with anything. This is gonna be a dog fight

[moonslav59]

We fought hard and sctratched our way to tie it up.

 

It's a 162 game season for a reason.

 

I still love this team and their chances.

[Natick to NC]

Of course. It was the right call, but since he was out, Cora sucks.

 

....Nuney just touched third and the guy had the ball ...it was a horrific call that cost us this game .Mookie was up next .

[Jasonbay44]

2 outs in the 9th. You send him every time

 

Completely disagree. There is a difference between being aggressive and stupid. Nunez was out by a mile. Look where he was when Granderson picked up the ball, it would've taken a horrendous throw for Nunez to be safe. Osuna was struggling and Mookie is on deck. It was bad send, which has been a disturbing trend last few years.

Playing and awful twins team lol. Relax.

Thanks. I feel much better now---about the loss. I understood one out. Just another poor hitting night and another wasted starting performance.

Yankees beat up the twinkles and your here ??? Got it man you folks are Amazing lol

And if Mookie hits to his average there is a 70% chance he fails. Granderson has a noodle arm and isn't always accurate. He one bounces it perfect to the plate.

[Maxbialystock]

Of course. It was the right call, but since he was out, Cora sucks.

 

Cora didn't send him, the 3d base coach did. I agree the normal call would be send him, but the 3B coach could see the play and how slow Nunez was getting around 3B. In the event, Nunez was out by a big margin. It did not take a perfect throw especially with a slow runner like Nunez.

The Twins did make the playoffs last year

[Station 13]

Our starters did an amazing job the last 3 games to two of the league's top offense. And the coaching, defenses cost them 2 of those games.

[fxkatt]

Now I feel bad about the loss again, because I agree with this argument, if accurately described.

[jacksonianmarch]

BTW, Devers defense cost you today. You win if Devers isn't your 3b

[Jasonbay44]

And if Mookie hits to his average there is a 70% chance he fails. Granderson has a noodle arm and isn't always accurate. He one bounces it perfect to the plate.

 

Even if he made a mediocre throw, Nunez is still out. It would be one thing if it was a bang-bang play where Granderson made an amazing throw, but that was just stupid. Nunez literally didn't even have a chance. a 30% chance of Betts getting a hit, is better than the 0% chance Nunez had of scoring on that play.

[Station 13]

So it really isn't a "rough patch" as you called it.

[Jasonbay44]

Cora is blame free in this game IMO, I don't get why he's even being mentioned. The offense struggled (Mookie/JD/Beni combined 0-13, 9 K's), the infield defense was horrible (Devers made some big mistakes and Nunez is just bad), and the 3B coach sending Nunez was monumentally stupid. Cora cant make the guys hit, play defense, and he didn't tell the 3B coach to make that (bad) judgement call.

[Maxbialystock]

And if Mookie hits to his average there is a 70% chance he fails. Granderson has a noodle arm and isn't always accurate. He one bounces it perfect to the plate.

 

Mookie doesn't have to hit to his average to bring the runner home. A WP or a BB does it. With the bases loaded and the game tied, the pressure is much more on the pitcher than the batter.

 

Granderson was playing in as he should have been. All he had to do was field the ball cleanly. After that it was a short throw not requiring a strong arm.

[SoxHop]

Even if he made a mediocre throw, Nunez is still out. It would be one thing if it was a bang-bang play where Granderson made an amazing throw, but that was just stupid. Nunez literally didn't even have a chance. a 30% chance of Betts getting a hit, is better than the 0% chance Nunez had of scoring on that play.

 

Better chance Granderson got hit by a lightning bolt mid throw than Nunez making it home. That was just dumb to send him. Thirdbase coach got excited.

[Natick to NC]

For two innings you called for Kimbrel.

 

Cora finally did what you wanted, and now it's "terrible coaching".

 

Cherry picker huh ? Lots of screw ups tonight but you know this maaaaaaaan .You also know the time to put Craig in was with 2 outs ...but hey Kelly promptly gives up a rocket double and the next batter damn near goes yard ...miss hit Moon this was a s*** show at the end .

[Station 13]

Can we talk about Porcello? 7IP 3 hits, all snuck by our half-assed infielders. 7 groundouts to 1 fly out. 9 strikeouts. He is easily our best starter at the moment.

[Maxbialystock]

I agree Cora is blameless. The fault lay with the lineup despite the semi-miraculous 2 runs to tie in the 9th. And our invincible closer gave up the game-winning dinger in the 10th.

 

The players lost this game. Plus I don't like the 3B coach.
